Rare acts like they have shelved the game for the indefinite future.
The iconic stealth-action Syphon Filter series is nowhere to be seen, while Sony's busy planning more ridiculous live services.
Sometimes bringing back an old IP is like digging up a corpse and peeing on it, just look at Duke Nukem Forever, be careful what you wish for.
You are essentially asking Sony to make a better game than MGSV. That is risky given were stealth action games are right now.
If Sony can make a multiplayer component to go with a story mode like the great PSP games I think people would like this alot.
I've always wanted a reboot of Syphon Filter 1 at the quality level of Uncharted 2 or better. But the game has been abandoned like many previous Sony games that made other generations memorable.
The music, the voices, the story, the weapons and the amazing Taser were awesome for the time. The boss battles cool. But Bend and Sony don't care about bringing it back. About as bad as many other properties from Sega, Capcom, Namco, Konami, etc that we'd love but won't be getting.
Yup. Seems like Sony is dialing back on the live service plans but not completely. I wish they’d just can them in general. Maybe just let Bungie do Marathon and pivot everyone else.

Perfect Dark would be cool but I’m hoping for Fable. I’m really interested where they’ve taken the game.
Looking ahead now, I'd say Avowed is what I'm looking forward to most in the fall. Obsidian's been nothing but quality and consistency so I can't wait to see what they've been cooking
Intercept Games, the developer of space sim Kerbal Space Program 2, appears to have been shut down by parent company Take-Two.
This year is starting to look like it's going to have an infamous nickname at some point in the future.
Outside of some rumours, and both Kevin Lobb and Phil Spencer stating they are interested in the franchise, Perfect Dark is “dead”.
I have always found Microsoft's purchase of and complete disregard for Rare a weird mystery. They bought this legendary company so many years ago, but just tossed it aside and never took advantage of it or it's IPs properly.
I'd love to see a new Perfect Dark. I do wonder if changing the formula up, would be a benefit for it or not and what I mean by that is changing it from a first person shooter, to a third person shooter.
You got hints of a TPS in the Xbox 360 version and I can't help but wonder what a whole game would look like.
I also think bringing in elements like how Deus Ex is an immersive SIM would be perfect for the universe of Perfect Dark.
it was not "perfect" after all
